What is supposed to be the figurehead has surfaced in Sweden in 1994, where the Gothenburg antique dealer Karl-Erik Svärdskog bought the
figurehead in the neighbourhood of Gothernburg. The figurehead of the Nightingale was a bust of the singer Jenny Lind.
It has been possible to trace it back to Kragerø where according to a strong oral tradition the deckhouse and
the figurehead was taken off the Nightingale after she was bought to
Kragerø.

This figurehead was exhibited at the National Museum of Fine Art in Stockholm,
September 1-9, 1996, during the Royal Swedish Festival (Svenskt Festspel).
